a BUSTED BOOM.

Several papers within the past week have
announced that the bottom had fallen out
of the Wichita boom. Had the impressi-
bic editors of these bright sheets spent the
hast week in this city, they would not only
have concluded that Wicbita's boom was
bottomless, but that the top was out, the
sides off. and that the contents were scat
tering everywhere.
Never in the history Of the city was
there such week. the boom having struck
everything from the two new motor lines
and the new Rock Island depot to the
latest peanut stand, the whole business cul'
minating yesterday in the biggest crowds,
the most crowded streets, and biggest day &
business ever had by the city. There was
less speculative real estate movements but
more substantial and valuable property
transfers, less discounting Of the future
but more square down figuring on the pres
ent than 10 any week of the entire winter.
Yes the bottom is out of Wichita, but
we know of two mighty corporations that
would give good sum to be convinced OF
that fact long enough to make some heavy
purchases, for which chance they have
been waiting more than year. They
would give cool hundred thousand to
have things knocked crazy for just long
enough to make good their mistakes in not
buying two years ago.
Yes, gentlemen, Wichita has gone to
thunder, and it would be sight worth
seeing to come and behold the ruins.

THE INTERSTATE BILL.

Politicians and cranks are the curse o.
this country, the first as the representative
generally in high places of the latter. Gu,
own kansas legislature is fair illustration
of what we mean. Politicians no longer
In our out Of office, represent the great
Conservative and level headed masses, but
are eternally riding some hobby Of the
Grew of dissatisfied cranks whose extreme
notions are always labeled progression.
Kansas issin Il turmoil to day and has been
for three or four years because of dema-
gogues who to succeed to places Of power
became the tool of the loud mou,hed and
uneasy ranks Of cranks And if the Uni
ted States, as country, meets with any
financial troubles or industrial crashes
be the result of the legislation of the last
congress.
In the matter of the interstate CON-
nerce bill, for instance. the country seems
entirely at sea as to its probable workings
Not only are railway owners and controll-
ers and manufacturers of all classes exer-
cised and fearful, but whole communities
most heartily wish the experiment had
never been thought of. But it came in re-
spouse to crank cry for railway legisla-
ton and at the hands of political dema-
gogues and representative men who fear
their own shadows.
We have been Of late reading the views
and expressions of number Of men, and
we are forced TO the conclusion that no.
body knows what the results of the law
will be. Commissioner Fink says it will
ruin a great many owners Of railway prop
erty and ruin the roads themselves, and
that while some sections of the bill are
admirable, much more is imprac-
ticable. impossible and deplorable,
and that. it will force great
consultations and big combinations to the
direct injury of live competition. Another
observant man says that it will either drive
producers Of the far west to the wall or to
the slow export via the lakes. That the
through lines will thrive on it, as they can
make rates TO the detriment of their local
traffic without material injury to them
selves If not to The ruinStion Of shorter
competitors. Commissioner Midgley said
TO the writer that while he found some
good in the bill, for the most part it was
bad and that the advantages TO come from
many of its provisions to one class of ship
pers and TO certain cities would be at the
expense of other shippers and other cities
In truth there is general distrust through
out the country and the only hope seems
to bc that the commissioners may prove
strong, level-headed men.

1t is the duty of every person who
have used Boschee's German Syrup
to let its wonderful qualities be
known to their friends in curing
consumption, severe coughs, Group,
asthma, pneumonia, and in fact all
throat and lung diseases. No per-
son can use it without immediate
relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider it the duty
of all druggists to recommend it to
the poor, dying consumptive, at least
to try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen
bottles were sold last year, and no
one case where it failed was report
ed. Such a medicine as the Ger
manSyrup cannot bs too widsl v

it. Sample bottles to try,
sold at 10 cents. Regular size is
cents. Sold by all druggists and
dealers, in the United States and

EACH LocATIoN.-A separate pat
ent on each location is not contem-
plated by the mining statue.-[Land-
owner.
FEE.-A patent to mining claim
changes a mere possessory holding
into fee, but it does not enlarge
the right to follow the dip of the
vein.- Landowner.
INTERVENING CLA1MANTs-A
right to patent once vested, is
equivalent to patent issued. When
patent issues it relates back to the
inception of the right Of the pat
entee, so far as necessary to cut off
intervening claimants.-[ Landown-

laws do not restrict party to one

title to rs many claims as he may
be entitled to under local laws, and
upon which the necessary amount
has been expended in labor and
improvements Mining Decisions.
AssEssMENr-The decision ren-
dered recently by Judge Sabin in
the U. s. circuit court in the case
Of Blasdel VS.. Tangerman, is upon
the question whether assessment"
work on mining ground is required
after payment has been made for
the claim on application for U. s..
patent. The decision follows the
general rule that after payment the
land is SO far the property of the
purchaser that ejectment may be
maintained in the courts against
trespassers. In the above case the
contention was that the proceedings
of Blasdel for patent to the ground
are SO defective that a patent can
not result from the payment, and
that hence he is not in a condition
to maintain ejectment against the
re-locators who are in possession.
The court rules otherwise. This
decision is not thought to be con-
elusive on the question of the title,
and the general land office is pro-
ceeding regularly to test the ques-
ton why Blasdel's entry Of the min
ing ground in Aurora shall not be
Cancelled.
